    Utah ranks in top 10 for ICE arrests; deplorable conditions at "Alligator Alcatraz" revealed

    Despite the complaints Holly's gotten in the past for her views on immigration, she's standing by them: she believes the human should come first before the alleged crime. So the news that Utah ranks among the top 10 states for the rate of ICE arrests really bothers her. What's more, a new report from the Department of Homeland Security's inspector general found that some detainees in Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz" faces inhumane conditions. She and Greg discuss both immigration-related stories.

    Lawmakers call for Lindsay Clancy to face public execution

    Despite her innocence -- she has not been proven guilty in a court of law -- federal lawmakers are calling for the public execution of Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts woman charged with killing her three children. She claims she did so while experiencing postpartum psychosis, and a jury failed to unanimously convict her of anything several weeks ago. Holly gives her hot takes on lawmakers calling for the death of an innocent person.

    Will Congress add safeguards to artificial intelligence?

    Some of the AI industry's biggest leaders have been calling on Congress to add more safeguards around artificial intelligence and now, Utah's governor is echoing those calls. Yesterday, Governor Cox posted a letter on X asking for Congress to create a national framework to establish rules, regulations, and safeguards for AI. Commissioner of the Utah Department of Commerce Margaret Busse help craft the message; she joins us to explain what the governor really wants. Deseret News congressional correspondent Cami Mondeaux also joins Inside Sources to give insights into whether or not Congress has an appetite to take up the issue before the midterms.

    Two Utah Supreme Court judicial nominees move ahead

    The past couple of years have highlighted some rather tense relations between the state legislature and the Utah Supreme Court; for example, redistricting, abortion access, and expanding the state's high court. Those tensions were definitely on legislator's minds yesterday as a Senate confirmation committee interviewed two men the Governor hopes to put on the bench. Greg and Holly discuss how these two nominees may change the relationship between the legislature and the judiciary.

    Ask the Attorney: man accused of killing three women in Wayne County to appear in court

    This was such a sad, crazy story when it broke last March -- three women killed in Wayne County. Their money and cars were stolen in the process. Prosecutors say Ivan Miller killed the three in an attempt to get home to Iowa. It appears to be a completely random thing, but that doesn't make it any easier to process. Miller's due in court today, so Inside Sources takes the chance to ask KSL Legal Analyst Greg Skordas about the case.

    State of farming, ranching in Utah

    A lackluster winter, a weird spring, and a hot, dry summer -- all things that make farming and ranching here in Utah and across the West more challenging than normal. Mixed with a difficult economy, international tariffs, and challenges with herd sizes, our farmers and ranchers have sure had an uphill battle. So with all that in mind, we focus on how agriculture has been dealing with some really intense challenges. The show is first joined by Kaid Panek, brand ambassador for the American Cattlemen and former state vice president of the Utah FFA. The hosts then shift specifically to farming and are joined by Ron Stratford, President of the Utah Farmers Union.

With more on how this kind of thing works and what it could mean for transplants of all kinds, Greg and Holly are joined in the studio by Deseret News reporter Lois Collins.

    President Trump's restrictions on mail-in voting continue to face judicial pushback

    Yet another knock against President Trump's attempts to restrict mail-in voting -- this morning, a second federal judge blocked the administration from implementing new rules for the U.S. Postal Service to tighten mail-in voting requirements. At the same time, our Lieutenant Governor continues to face investigations and pushback from the Department of Justice over voter information privacy. Governor Cox is now defending the state's chief election officer and vote-by-mail in the state; the hosts explain.

    Interest rates may go up again as the Fed tries to fight stubborn inflation

    The Federal Reserve may have to raise interest rates this week at its regular meeting, and it's thanks to stubbornly high inflation. But interest rates are already higher than many would like, and wasn't the whole goal of President Trump appointing a new Fed chair so that he could lower interest rates? With more on why inflation continues to stay high and why the Fed must rely on its formulas to make interest rate decisions, Inside Sources is joined by Zions Bank Senior Economist Robert Spendlove.

    Diesel prices hit record high -- what are people doing to save money?

    Over the weekend, nationwide diesel prices hit an all-time high when they surpassed the $ 6-a-gallon mark. There's been a lot of finger-pointing over who's at fault for the high prices, but regardless, it's going to hurt our wallets. Even if you don't drive a diesel truck, most of the food and goods shipped around the U.S. rely on diesel to get to their destination. And that means higher prices will continue to trickle down. The hosts discuss the reasons for the high diesel prices right now and hear from listeners on what they're doing to save a buck here and there.

Greg and Holly discuss a video store in Southern Utah that's trying to head back to a totally tubular past.

    Pres. Trump pushes back on AI leaders calling for guardrails in their industry

    This morning, President Trump shared that he doesn't think guardrails or controls are needed to better protect people from the dangers of artificial intelligence. In fact, he said there needs to be less regulation so the AI industry in the U.S. can grow and win the "AI race" against China. His comments came after several industry leaders said we need to slow down AI development and introduce more safeguards. The comments from those leaders have many asking why they can't police themselves in the first place, and why they need the government to do it. For more on whether the industry could enforce rules themselves and what that would look like, Greg and Holly are joined by Cinco AI founder Tim Kapp, who's an AI builder, professor, and economist.

    Operation Yellow Ribbon: A bright light amid one of America's darkest days

    Amid the chaos and darkness that fell upon our country 25 years ago today, there was a little glimmer of light coming from our neighbors in the north. Shortly after the attacks began, the FAA closed American airspace for the first time ever. Suddenly, planes across the country were ordered to land... immediately. With thousands of planes in the air -- flying to the U.S. from overseas destinations -- it meant two options: turn back or find another place to land. Inside Sources Executive Producer Andy Cupp joins to share more on how a small town in Newfoundland, Canada, stepped in to help thousands of Americans, many of whom were experiencing the worst day of their lives.

    The impact of 9/11 on America's Muslim community

    In the aftermath of 9/11, the country's Muslim community faced an increase in attacks. Even those who had nothing to do with what happened that day faced harassment, abuse, and danger. It's important to us to cover that part of the story too -- this group of Americans experienced something so terrible that this is their story too. For more on that perspective, Greg and Holly speak with Imam Shuaib Din of the Utah Islamic Center.

    9/11 25 Years Later

    Today, the nation and the world pause to remember the tragic, terror-filled day of 25 years ago. On September 11th, 2001, our very sense of peace and security came under attack. In the process, thousands died in planes, in office buildings, and in government installations. Many of those people were first responders and volunteers desperately trying to help save as many lives as possible. This morning, bells tolled at the sites of the attacks to honor those killed. Names of the 2,977 killed that day were also read aloud. In this special edition of Inside Sources, Greg and Holly take some time to reflect on what happened, how we've changed as a country in the process, and how people across the country are working to make sure we truly never forget. The hosts are joined by several guests in the process: KSL NewsRadio host Jeff Caplan was in New York City that morning and joins to share what happened as he broadcast over the airwaves during the attacks Jennie Taylor, founder of the Major Brent Taylor Foundation, joins to speak on how Utahns honor the day through The 9/11 Project Hilary Reiter Azzaretti with 9/11 Day explains how people in Utah and around the world are coming together to create a day of service on the anniversary
